In order to try and figure out my headaches, Aaron and I went on a "Reboot" diet - nothing but vegetables and vegetable juice for 15 days. The diet affected the boys differently, especially poor Monty!
Here is a recap of our diet!
Today is Day 1 of an all vegetable diet (vegan, actually) that we are hoping will help my headaches. So far, all we've managed to do is horrify Monty!
Day 2 of the Headache Diet - Monty is laying in the grass refusing to come back into the house, despairing that he will never see another steak in his lifetime... Sam has discovered a previously unknown passion for broccoli...
Day 3 of the Headache Diet... Monty has taken to commiserating with the grill, while Sam happily has ordered a salad along with his kibble...
Day 4 of the Headache Diet - Found Monty on-line last night trying to order a years worth of steak, Sam has just put his finishing touches on his miniature recreation of the Taj Majal made entirely of lettuce and kale...
Day 5 of the Headache Diet - Found Monty's last will and testament written in blue crayon... Found Sam reading Arizona Vegetable Growers Digest...
Day 6 of the Headache Diet - Monty was discovered trying to trade Sam's favorite blue bear to the Yorkie next door for a slice of bacon... Sam has plowed the backyard and planted lettuce...
Day 7 of the Headache Diet - Found tunnel leading from our laundry room to the beef jerky section of Walgreens, suspect Monty... Sam is really starting to look like a farmer and he's expecting a bumper crop of lettuce this year...
Day 8 of the Headache Diet - Noticed on the phone bill several calls to cattle ranch in Texas. After calling the ranch, found out several orders have been placed with them and to expect 10 head to be delivered on the 12th - suspect Monty... Sam has asked if he can enter his prize turnips in the county fair...
Day 9 of the Headache Diet - Got a call from a publisher, Monty can expect his first royalty check this week for his tell all book "My Days Without Meat - What my people did to me"... Sam is building fence to keep Monty's cattle out of his lettuce.
Day 10 of the Headache Diet - Well, the diet is temporarily over - it seems my stomach can't handle a diet of pure vegetables. Aaron immediately went out to buy me crackers and himself a steak, which Monty immediately held a parade for. He had everything - balloons, a marching band, floats... Sam, while thrilled steak had return, asked if he could finish my uneaten salad.
Day 11 of the Headache Diet - Despite a setback, Aaron has decided that we will continue with the diet. We only have 5 days left. Monty is inconsolable and refuses to leave his bed, Sam has just endorsed his own brand of salad dressing.
Day 12 of the Headache Diet - A new supply of antlers arrived for the boys yesterday, Monty and Sam temporarily distracted. I, however, would really like pancakes (no processed foods, flour, etc. allowed!)...
...and the post that made us decide to go off of the diet...
I made the boys dog treats tonight. It's probably the diet talking, but boy, do they taste good!
So, we made it through 12 days and my headache is the same. We will try something else, and I think both boys are thrilled things are back to normal!
